About Holmfirth

Holmfirth nestles in West Yorkshire's Holme Valley, where several Pennine valleys meet near the Peak District boundary. The A6024 Woodhead Road provides the main access from the M67, whilst the A616 offers a particularly scenic route through the Upper Don Valley. Local routes include the A635 from Barnsley and the winding roads from Glossop, though the high Woodhead Pass can prove challenging in winter. With over 90 public EV charging points nearby, the town serves electric vehicle drivers well. Holmfirth remains famous worldwide as the setting for "Last of the Summer Wine," the BBC's longest-running comedy series.
